Book Hauls!

Cool. I have read all those erbs and the Myers Myers and the Hope Hodgson. Fine selection.
 
Never been there, but the ivy is nice.

Have you read any of ERB's Tarzan novels? I've shied away from them because they're not really science fiction. But since I enjoy his other work, I'm thinking of giving them a shot.
 
The first few Tarzan novels are very enjoyable, though there is some eyewatering casual racism in there.

I was given six sf novels recently... mailed them to a friend who was more interested than I was.
 
I just downloaded Toby Frost’s last three Space Captain Smith books.

A Game Of Battleships
End Of Empires
Pincers of Death.

I also downloaded T.C. McCarty’s Chimera.
 
I picked up nice condition 1960’s Pan paperbacks of the Kingsley Amis and Robert Conquest anthologies, Spectrum 3, Spectrum 4 and Spectrum 5.

Very happy with these!
 
My copy of the B5 encyclopaedia arrived today.

A beautiful book that I’m going to really enjoy pooring over.
 
Another batch from a bookstore friend came in the mail. Nothing here that appeals to me... so they've been offered to a more receptive friend.

Looks pretty darn good to me. Book haul of the year so far. By the way, what's on the other side of that Ace Double?

ISFDB says it's Message from the Eocene, a novel by the same author. And, yeah, that haul looks decent to me, too. I don't know what I'd like of it but I haven't read any of it and would be willing to give almost all of it a try. (I don't know anything about Sellings and I'm not always the biggest psi fan, so I'd probably pass on that one.)
 
Thanks for looking that up. Never know what treasure might be buried in the back. Read something by St. Clair before. Can't remember what but have it in my head she's a fairly decent writer. All in all, a TBR pile dying for a lazy summer month.
 
Dask, I have a similar sense of St. Clair and that story collection would tickle my fancy enough to at least dip in. The Richard Wilson would interest me because he lived in my city and his s.f. book collection is the core of the Special Collections s.f. collection at the Syracuse University Library.

Yes, this was a decent batch of books, but nothing I was really excited about -- while I thought my friend might be more interested. When I sent him a photo of the book offerings, he said "wonderful!" and accepted all the sf except for the Worlds Collide one, which he already had (and which I thought might be the most interesting of the bunch to me anyway). I'd rather he enjoyed them than that they lay around waiting for just the right mood to hit me (if it ever did).
